A vast majority of my smaller customers deal with Expedient for all of their hosting/dns needs. I actually like dealing with expedient, I rarely wait on hold and the people I talk to seem to know what they are doing. :bigthumb:

The support staff is definitely pretty good. The guy that runs all that is actually on the site too. Since we were able to leverage other markets to roll over NOC calls, our hold times are down to 1-2 minutes on average. Not bad for our size of a company. Thanks for the compliment!

I dont answer the phone anymore, im too busy watching our monitoring system.
If DNS stuff needs done it can be sent right to the noc… fucking that shit up. I could really not see how anyone(unless their new) could mess it up. Its piss simple.

I am a grants administrator. I help submit grant proposals and make sure the grants we already have are used appropriately.
In short I play with numbers to make us look good for the Dean’s Office.

What do you mean by monitoring system? Monitoring is half of my job, at least… I work with OpenView a ton and other stuff a bit.
